Tell us about an exciting job match you made recently?
I recently “headhunted” or “cold called” an amazing candidate and he was a perfect match for my client. I went a little out of my comfort zone by calling him at work, but he was very receptive and happened to be looking for a new role. It was perfect timing on my part and I'm so happy I made the call.
What drives you to go above and beyond?
I’m very competitive with myself and my peers and I always want to be the best version of myself I can be. I set goals and look to achieve and surpass them, it’s a fun game I play with myself to see how far I can push myself. From playing sports most my life, I really enjoy being in a role where I can work hard and see results based on my efforts. It’s the best feeling to impact your own income with hard, smart work.
What do you think separates CyberCoders from the average recruiting firm?
The relationships and mentorship from colleagues is second to none. I have formed great relationships with people who I’ll have in my life for many years to come. CyberCoders is an environment where if you put the effort in and seek information out, you will see results that translate into successes.
What is your favorite part about being a recruiter?
I love talking to new people and learning about what they do and who they are. I also really enjoy turning a “no” into a “yes,” it’s a great feeling to be successful in overcoming obstacles.
What are your favorite hobbies or activities outside of the office?
I love sports and enjoy fitness and play tennis regularly. I also enjoy eating at new restaurants, traveling abroad and decorating my new house.
